Chapter 845 The official opening (two-in-one chapter)
When the child soldier had grown up and became a young man, Ma An's figure completely disappeared from his eyes.
Looking at the disappearing figure, everyone in the team was still very silent. Amidst the complicated emotions, no one wanted to speak.
Upon seeing this, Hu Biao knew that he should say something to the rest of the team to break the dead silence lingering in the team at the moment.
Because if this continues, it will not be conducive for the team to maintain a good readiness status to welcome the arrival of the first stage.
After organizing his words, Hu Biao began to say:
"That's right! According to the time, Lao J and Qingtian should have arrived at Uncle Sam's house by now. I don't know how their mission is progressing now. Why didn't we receive any notifications?"
Under such a statement, the attention of everyone in the team was successfully diverted.
Mainly because this kind of system task triggered by props is absolutely unprecedented for the Zhongzhou team, and it makes them very interested.
So, they combined their own cognitions one after another.
In other words, combined with the brain circuits of the many online novels I have read over the years, the authors started to chat one after another.
For a time, as everyone was chatting, the atmosphere suddenly changed, and everyone had smiles on their faces.
Seeing this, some people will definitely say that instead of guessing about the progress of Jason and others, it is better to send a telegram directly to ask the two-person team where the mission is now.
Regarding this point, we can only say that Hu Biao and others have no way to do it.
Although the telegraph machine they carry in the space ring is very good in terms of power, the maximum communication distance is about one thousand kilometers.
In specific use, it will also be greatly affected by weather.
And Korea is far away from the North American continent, and the distance between the two places is more than tens of thousands of miles, so there is no way for them to effectively communicate with Jason's two-person team.
Who wants a better radio station with more advanced performance? Hu Biao and others have no way to bring it over.
It's just that the real situation encountered by Jason and Qingtian, who are currently being worried about by Hu Biao and others, is not what they thought at all...
In the voice of "Gudong, Gudong~", Qingtian held a bottle of Coca-Cola in the shape of a classic glass bottle and poured it all into his mouth in one breath.
Suddenly, a burp filled with pleasure came out of his mouth.
This bottle of Kuole was just taken out from the refrigerator in the room.
But when the cold liquid entered his stomach and he burped happily, the emotion on Qingtian's face quickly turned into something anxious and angry.
After slamming the glass bottle on the table, he cursed:
"What the hell! If you keep waiting like this, when will it end? And old J, do you feel that something is getting more and more wrong in the past two days?"
On the side, he was holding a copy of the New York Times in his hand. After hearing this, Jason, who was looking at it lazily, immediately put down the newspaper in his hand and frowned heavily.
stand up.
The main reason is that things have developed into the current situation, which is not at all what they originally expected.
What should we do next? Jason also began to think hard.
First of all, Mr. Jack, who left them a skull ring as a token during the mission in Hengyang City, was indeed right at all.
As long as any property under the Morgan family on the North American continent shows this token, they can contact him immediately.
Six days ago, they asked the receptionist at J.P. Morgan to show such a ring to their person in charge and immediately received it with great enthusiasm.
It can even be said that the white male person in charge was a bit flattering in his reception.
After the two of them drank coffee in the VIP room for a while, a well-dressed middle-aged man appeared.
The middle-aged man told the two of them that they had contacted Mr. Jack; but it was a pity that the timing of Jason's arrival was a little unlucky.
Because tomorrow is Christmas Eve and the day after tomorrow is Christmas Day.
For a traditional family like Morgan, on such an important holiday, all important members of the family must return to the family manor and gather together to spend Christmas.
At the same time, a series of important meetings will take place at the family estate on an 85-acre private island on the north shore of Long Island.
Therefore, Mr. Jack Morgan has no time to come over to see them now.
Jason and Qingtian need to wait a few days. In order to express his apology, Jack Morgan entrusted Mr. Andrno to receive them well.
Naturally, Jason and Qingtian had no objections to such a statement.
So in the following time, the two were arranged to stay at the famous Waldorf Astoria Hotel; they waited patiently in a luxurious suite with more than 40 floors, which is still the tallest hotel in the world.
Every day, whether it is fine wine, delicious food, new clothes, various luxuries, or abalone merchants of various colors and flavors.
As long as Jason and the two of them have such an idea, they can be satisfied by just talking to Mr. Andrno; in short, all the expenses will be paid by Mr. Jack.
Of course, the two Jasons, who were still thinking about a quick mission, did not make any other requests except for good food and drink every day.
However, after waiting and waiting, the two of them realized that something seemed wrong.
Christmas has passed, and Mr. Jack has not appeared. Every time he asked, Andrno always said that he was still dealing with some urgent matters.
Especially in the past two days, they discovered that although Andno was hiding well, he seemed to be getting more and more impatient with the two of them.
I don't even know when it started, but in the guest rooms on the left and right sides of their room, there were four more people who looked like gunmen, and they were vaguely watching them.
This made the two of them understand that something must have happened.
After pondering for a while, Jason spoke decisively:
"Chef, I think something must have happened to Jason. If we wait like this, we won't be able to wait for anyone, and we don't have that much time to wait.
So we must take the initiative to find Mr. Jack; before we leave, we must first find Mr. Andrno and the gunmen to ask for some information."
"Okay, after holding it in for so many days, it looks like I can finally move my hands and feet."
After hearing this, Qingtian said excitedly.
Jason stopped talking, and with a thought, he released two M1911 pistols from the space ring on his finger.
What needs to be explained is that it is because of the actual needs of the task.
When Jason and Qingtian broke up with Hu Biao, they replaced the space ring in their hands with a capacity of ten cubic meters, which was considered the largest, with a five-cubic one.
But even so, the space ring in Jason's hand still contains enough light and heavy firearms.
They only took out two pistols, because they thought that facing those weak opponents, having two of these things was completely enough...
Twenty minutes later, Jason and Jason, who looked like two wealthy old men wearing high-end handmade suits, got into a Lincoln sedan provided by the hotel at the door.
After rejecting the driver provided by the hotel, Jason drove the car himself.
The doorman, who received a tip of US$5, graciously sent the two of them off.
What the doorman didn't know was that these two rich men from the East were very wealthy in his eyes.
Just a few minutes ago, another equally distinguished Mr. Andreno and four of his gunmen were tied up and then severely punished.
Through the explanation given by Mr. Andrno, Jason and the others finally understood why Mr. Jack Morgan has not shown up yet.
It all sounds like a very vulgar story:
(The following plots and characters are fictitious, and are more realistic based on party research)
The head of the Morgan family is getting older and his health is getting worse and worse, so the one who holds the throne of the huge business empire is about to be replaced.
Jack and other second-generation successors launched a fierce competition for this.
Originally, such competition was very orderly and normal under the control of the current head of the family, Old Morgan; but at this year's Christmas dinner, Old Morgan fainted.
Although he did not die in the following time, he lay in the hospital bed and fell into a coma.
Suddenly, the entire Morgan family was in a situation where no one was in charge; in order to compete for the next family throne, a group of competitors used various formal and informal means, causing the entire family to become chaotic.
.
Then the unlucky Mr. Jack Jack was forcibly controlled by other competitors due to his carelessness.
Currently, he should be locked up in a big house on the south coast of Long Island.
If there are no surprises, Mr. Jack has withdrawn early from the competition to be the head of the Morgan family, a huge business empire.
After this incident, even if he is not killed.
When Ke waits for others to be released, his own strength will be greatly reduced, and he will not pose any threat to the new head of the Morgan family.
After learning the above situation, Jason and Qingtian's first reaction was:
Take action and rescue that Mr. Jack.
In this way, the honest Lincoln started driving on the extremely bustling streets of the Big Apple City at the end of the 1950s; while looking at the Ocean Horses all over the street, Qingtian asked:
"Old J, where should we go now? Go directly to the Morgan family's estate on the north shore of Long Island and rush in to save people?"
"No! Our disappearance will definitely alert Jack's competitors; now they must have stepped up their defenses.
So before taking action, let's go to Chinatown to find some people and get the information." Jason, who was confident, answered like this in his mouth.
******
Time: December 31, the last day of 50 years; 7 o'clock in the evening, when the sky has just darkened for a while.
The location is the 38th Parallel, behind a snowdrift on the north side of the Imjin River.
Amidst the continuous sound of "boom, boom, boom~", shells continued to fall on the position on the other side of the river, and bursts of fire started to rise.
The above scene is the Volunteer Army's most intense artillery preparations since entering Goryeo for the third battle that has just been launched.
He used all the artillery on hand and all the shells he had stored up, and he smashed them all out.
Although in general, the number of artillery on the Volunteer Army's side is not large, the caliber is not large, and the reserve of artillery shells is also considerable.
However, being caught off guard, the bunkers and fortifications built by the United Guo Army on the other side of the 38th Parallel, as well as the defenders stationed in them, immediately suffered considerable losses.
More importantly, since the war started, in the battles with the volunteers, they have basically encountered grenades, small-caliber mortars, and other joint forces with poor firepower.
I never thought that one day I would be subjected to a large-scale bombardment by volunteers.
The morale of the combined Guo troops immediately suffered a shocking blow.
Under the artillery bombardment of the Volunteer Army, they ran wildly on the position like a group of headless flies; then they were torn apart by the falling artillery fire.
Seeing such a scene, the volunteers, including Hu Biao and other members of the Zhongzhou team, were now filled with an indescribable fire in their hearts.
Now each of them carries only the most basic supplies such as ammunition, a large bag of fried noodles, a small amount of compressed biscuits and cans.
There was also a piece of nine-foot-long white cloth, which was sent by the logistics department in advance to wrap the body.
In addition, there is a small piece of cloth sewn in each person's pocket; the cloth has simple contents such as name, place of origin, age, unit, blood type, etc. written on it.
This will allow the comrades who clean up the battlefield later to know who the owner of this corpse is.
All of the above show that this is a life-and-death battle, a life-and-death battle in the face of extremely powerful enemies and their carefully constructed positions, putting them to death and surviving.
Now the volunteer soldiers participating in the attack were all ready to wrap their bodies in horse leather and prepare to launch an attack.
Finally, there was a period that I couldn’t say how long it lasted, but it could only be said that the artillery fire of the Volunteer Artillery Unit, which had done its best, slowly calmed down.
At the port where the artillery fire gradually became sparse, the signal flares of ‘pop, pop, pop~’ were heard.
It is at this end of the 38th Parallel that it is constantly being shot high into the sky.
Under such a signal, the Volunteer Army and the People's Army combined hundreds of thousands of troops to launch an attack across the entire Imjin River.
It was also at this moment that Hu Biao and the others jumped up from the snow and rushed out from where they were hiding...
"F*ck~" Hei Tantou, a modern excavator repairman, said this in a rather depressed tone.
When the signal flare signaled the official start of the attack, he, the translator, and Uncle Chu formed a three-man combat team and rushed towards the soldiers on the opposite side.
After rushing not far away, they rushed onto the Imjin River that separated the two armies.
At this time, it is already the coldest period of the year; especially when the sky turns dark, the temperature has reached an alarming level.
So now the Imjin River is very frozen.
Apart from the slippery ice surface, there is no need to cross the river in cold water.
As for whether they would fall on the slippery ice surface, Heitan Tou and the others didn't have to worry; because each of them had an iron-legged horse tied to the sole of their feet.
The so-called iron-legged horse is actually simple to say.
It is an iron, removable snow cleat; after being put on their cotton leather shoes, those spiked iron nails can greatly increase the friction on the ground.
Although this thing has a simple shape, as long as it is put on your shoes, you don't have to worry about slipping.
What really made Hei Tantou feel so annoyed at this moment was that the United Guo Army had already launched a counterattack based on its strong strength.
The numerous light and heavy machine guns on the position were already firing at them desperately.
What's even more terrible is that the joint Guo Army artillery unit has already reacted.
After the long-range artillery fire, which was far stronger than that of the Volunteers in terms of quantity and caliber, fired various artillery shells with calibers above 105 mm.
Part of it fell on the artillery position of the Volunteer Army, completely stopping our artillery support.
The other part kept falling on the ice.
Once this thing hit the ground, it immediately destroyed a large area of the originally solid ice surface; and Black Carbon Head had a premonition that he might be hit.
I have to say that Heitan Tou's premonition was quite accurate.
As he was running wildly, Zhunli suddenly shouted: "Lie down~".
Instinctively, Black Carbon Head threw himself on the ice; such an action caused the flying shell fragments to fall one by one, without causing any actual casualties.
Unfortunately, just when they heard the flying shrapnel flying overhead, they also heard a sound of "Kacha~" coming from the ice below them.
Before they had time to do anything, seven or eight volunteer soldiers, including Heitan Tou, Po Luo, and Uncle Chu, fell into the biting river water.
Fortunately, the Imjin River in Goryeo has a dry season after winter.
Therefore, after Hei Tantou and others fell into the water, they found that the water reached his waist, so there was no need to worry about being drowned.
Soon after, Hu Biao and others grabbed his hand and pulled him onto the ice.
Unfortunately, even now it is their second time to go into the water in the middle of winter.
But that kind of situation where he was wet from the waist down and filled with cold river water, and still insisted on continuing to fight, almost drove him crazy.
"What the hell! If I had known, I would have taken off my pants in advance."
As he continued to charge, Heitan Tou's mouth started to gurgling...
